Community Tasting Note

Thursday, April 28, 2016 - The 1989 La Conseillante had a burning orange hue, a sign of its advanced evolution. On the day it did’t really sing and even appeared to be drying out a bit. It was most pleasant wine, with tobacco, truffles and spices but tasted a bit tired and as if its best days were behind it. Qualitatively this is a delicious mature Pomerol, but it did not live up to our high expectations. I have not had this for a couple of years so it is difficult to tell if this particular bottle was sub par or whether the 1989 La Conseillante more generally is in decline. I would be a little surprised if it was the latter, though this was already drinking beautifully in the mid-90s.
